The post U.S. starts GDP data to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana blockchains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Department of Commerce has broadcast its Q2 GDP data across a diverse array of nine L1 and L2 networks. The move transforms a report into a permanent, globally-verifiable cryptographic fact, auditable by anyone on Earth. Summary U.S. Department of Commerce publishes Q2 2025 GDP data on nine blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The initiative makes GDP figures globally verifiable and cryptographically tamper-proof. Major exchanges Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken, along with oracles Pyth and Chainlink, facilitated the data publishing. In an announcement on August 28, the U.S. Department of Commerce said it had cryptographically signed and published its official Q2 2025 Gross Domestic Product figure, including a 3.3% annualized growth rate, across nine separate blockchains, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). The historic initiative, facilitated by a coalition of major exchanges and oracle networks, saw the federal agency deploy a SHA-256 hash of its full report and the raw GDP number itself onto ledgers including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and multiple Layer-2 scaling solutions. Why the Commerce Department is putting GDP onchain The initiative marks a deliberate effort by the Department of Commerce to assert a new standard for data integrity and global accessibility. According to the Department’s announcement, this serves as a proof of concept intended to “demonstrate the wide utility of blockchain technology” for the entire federal government. The core objective is to protect federal data and promote its public use by leveraging cryptographic certainty, making the nation’s economic narrative tamper-proof and transparent on a global scale. The department frames this move within the broader political context of establishing U.S. technological dominance, building on the current administration’s stated goal to make the country the “blockchain capital of the world.” This ambition was echoed by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who linked the technological achievement to the…
